2008 journal article
Do secondary compounds inhibit microbial- and insect-mediated leaf breakdown in a tropical rainforest stream, Costa Rica?
Oecologia, 155(2), 311–323.
Contributors: M. Ardón* & C. Pringle *
author keywords: decomposition; tannins; lignin; ergosterol; fungi; bacteria; collector-gatherers
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomass; Costa Rica; Elements; Insecta; Lignin / analysis; Phenols / analysis; Plant Leaves / chemistry; Plant Leaves / microbiology; Plant Leaves / parasitology; Rivers / microbiology; Rivers / parasitology; Tannins / analysis
TL;DR:
It was found that secondary compounds were rapidly leached and were less important than structural compounds in determining breakdown rates, suggesting that insects did not play an important role in breakdown.

2008 journal article
The impact of vegetation on sedimentary organic matter composition and PAH desorption
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, 156(3), 928–935.
author keywords: Phragmites; PAHs; Desorption; Sediments; Phytoremediation
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Biodegradation, Environmental; Chrysenes / analysis; Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry; Geologic Sediments / analysis; Humic Substances / analysis; Plants / metabolism; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons / analysis; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons / pharmacokinetics; Polymers; Pyrenes / analysis; Soil / analysis; Soil Pollutants / pharmacokinetics
TL;DR:
After several decades of plant colonization and growth (Phragmites australis), vegetated sediment fractions more extensively desorbed PAHs and had faster desorption kinetics than non-vegetation sediment fractions.

2008 journal article
Differences in sediment organic matter composition and PAH weathering between non-vegetated and recently vegetated fuel oiled sediments
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOREMEDIATION, 10(6), 473–485.
author keywords: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH); C-14 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS); Phragmites; cattails; willow trees
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Fuel Oils / analysis; Geologic Sediments / chemistry; Plant Roots; Poaceae / metabolism; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons / chemistry; Salix / metabolism; Soil Pollutants / chemistry; Soil Pollutants / metabolism; Typhaceae / metabolism
TL;DR:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon attenuation in contaminated field sediments after only 2 years of plant growth is examined to hypothesized that bulk sediment and humin fractions with measurable increases in plant organic matter content would show measurable changes to PAH attenuation as indicated by more weathered PAH diagnostic ratios or reduced PAH concentrations.

2008 journal article
Transgenes and Transgressions: Scientific Dissent as Heterogeneous Practice
Social Studies of Science, 38(4), 509–541.
author keywords: agricultural biotechnology; contrarian science; dissident science; genetically modified crops; transgene flow
MeSH headings : Biotechnology / history; Dissent and Disputes / history; History, 20th Century; History, 21st Century; Transgenes
TL;DR:
The controversy over the presence of transgenic DNA in Mexican maize in the early 2000s is used to point to a processual model of scientific dissent, based on understanding scientific dissent as a set of heterogeneous practices.
